Dynamic transition from video messaging to video communication

摘要

Computing devices may implement dynamic transitions from video messages to video communications. Video communication data for a video message may be received at a recipient device. The video communication data may be displayed as it is received, and recorded for subsequent playback. An indication of a selection to establish a video communication with the sender of the video message may be received, or an indication that display of the video communication is to be ceased may be received. If a video communication is to be established, then a video communication connection with the sender of the video message may be created so that subsequent video communication data may be sent via the established connection.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
an electronic display; one or more processors; a memory comprising program instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to implement a video communication module and a user interface; the user interface, configured to detect user input; the video communication module, configured to:
receive, from a remote mobile computing device via a video messaging protocol, video communication data that is part of a video message from the remote mobile computing device;display, as the video communication data is received, the video message on the electronic display;record the video communication data for subsequent display at the portable multi-function device;receive via the user interface an indication of user input to initiate a video communication with the remote mobile computing device; andin response to receipt of the indication to initiate the video communication, establish a video communication connection with the remote mobile computing device such that subsequently received video communication data from the remote computing device and subsequently transmitted video communication data to the remote computing device is sent via the established video communication connection, wherein the video communication connection is different than the video message protocol.
